- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: -----campaign of slander against an Irish citizen by the head of our police force. The extraordinary conclusions reached in the Charleton report are quite shattering and go to the core of our justice system. If we are honest, none of us could have comprehended that such a thing could happen. The overwhelming majority of the report focuses on that matter and on the failures of our national...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: Most of the people who are baying at the Opposition today accepted last year that the resignation in question was regrettably necessary. The shambolic manner in which this was treated over four or five weeks is a textbook illustration of how things should not be done. That is why a group was formed to oversee the reform of the Department. At the time, the Taoiseach expressed enormous...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Electoral Reform (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: While the Government likes to talk the talk about being modern, its response to this issue has proceeded at a snail's pace. I appreciate the Taoiseach's comments on Deputy James Lawless who has taken a leading role on this overall issue. However, the interdepartmental report includes nothing which could not have been put together over a couple of days by any of the many researchers and...

Micheál Martin: 4. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the interdepartmental group on security of Ireland’s electoral process and disinformation co-ordinated by his Department; and if he will further report on the recent launch of the public consultation on the regulation of online political advertising.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: On 24 July last, the former Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment informed the House that the heads of a Bill for the national broadband plan were with the Government and that the Bill was progressing well. The purpose of the Bill is to provide certainty with regard to the conditions of access to existing infrastructure for State-led intervention on the national...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: That is why it was so inappropriate and so wrong for a Minister to meet a bidder in that context. The Taoiseach might answer the question as to whether the fact that the consortium changed dramatically at the eleventh hour in its composition could leave the bidding process open to legal action and challenge.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2018)
Micheál Martin: The expansion of broadband has been carried out by commercial interests, which is fair enough, and has nothing to do with Government or State intervention at this stage. When the Taoiseach says the Minister of State, Deputy Breen, passed on the invitation, did he do it silently? Did he just pass it on?
